5/30/19: Countdown to the Draft
With the 2019 Draft just a few days away, MLB Pipeline's Jim Callis (@JimCallisMLB) and Jonathan Mayo (@jonathanmayo) and Jordan Shusterman of @CespedesBBQ discuss the process behind developing a mock draft and the fun challenges of trying to predict which players teams may prefer. Then, they cover some of the intriguing storylines going into the draft: Which pitcher will get selected first and by who? What will the D-backs’ Draft strategy be with 7 of the first 75 picks? What player could surprise us and get selected in the first round? Finally, they take a look back at the 2009 Draft that produced All-Stars Mike Trout, Nolan Arenado, and Paul Goldschmidt, and what we can learn from reflecting on a Draft a decade later.
